News: Carter's development as run defender in first full season pleases Garrett

The Cowboys already knew linebacker Bruce Carter’s speed gave them a good chance to match up in coverage.

But he also gave them run defense, a dimension coach Jason Garrett welcomed.

“I think the area where we felt like he really developed was just as a run player, a guy who can play downhill, who can read and react, and just his ability to make plays all over the field,” Garrett said at his Monday press conference.

JG should worry about the offense, which he can worry about taking credit for when it improves a little. Rob Ryan is the coach of this defense.

:laugh2:
he is just trying to grab credit where he sees an opening because he is the architect of a failing offense that everyone with a modicum of sense can see is floundering, largely due to his ineptitude

Didn't you love when JG tried to get credit for Romo's performance against the Cleveland Browns, by arguing that TR took what they gave him and played within the system. This was accompanied by JJ talking about the 'beautiful' adjustments in the second half of that game.

Yet, JG suddenly became silent when it came to Romo and his 'staying withing a system' that netted them 3 points against a Washington defene, and when Romo went outside the system, they suddenly started scoring in bunches.
